Police say Stewart followed Parris for a few blocks before pulling out in front of him in the 400 block of South 59th West Avenue and jumping out.  That is when Parris ran him over pinning Stewart between the two vehicles. 

Steward died at the scene, but Parris kept going. 

Police say Parris tried to steal another car but wasn't able to.  And when he went after a third car, that vehicle's owner tried to stop him and they got into a fight. 

The owner of that car was hit with a flashlight and Parris ran off. 

Tulsa Police arrested him in a nearby alley. 

Paris is booked into the Tulsa County jail on complaints of second-degree murder and auto theft. 

Police say Parris also had meth and a stolen driver's license in his possession at the time of his arrest.
